Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Researchers screened more than 220,000 single-letter DNA changes, identifying thousands that regulate gene activity in brain, ...

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may influence how long a ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may ...

In 1986, the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl released large amounts of ionizing radiation (IR) into the environment, and became one of the most serious ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...

Discover how an ancient gene influences the sex of ant, bee, and wasp embryos, impacting conservation and breeding practices.

After nearly 40 years, a new study has found that children of Chernobyl workers have mutations within their DNA ...

As millions of ageing men lose the Y chromosome, evidence links this silent shift to heart disease, cancer and shorter lives – what’s at stake?
